Developer from Germany. I build tools for the Linux desktop, mostly around KDE Plasma, and run key64, my own small platform with a Discord bot, dashboard, status page and CDN.
Lately I'm working my way down the stack: kernel modules, DRM and V4L2.
Discord Rich Presence for Apple Music on Linux. Apple Music has no Linux app, and the web player never shows up in Discord. Refrain is a small tray app that puts the song you're playing into your Discord status, with cover art.
